+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR librecrypt_test_supported ()
+function checks whether a hash algorithm chain is
+supported for the given input, and that each
+algorithm configuration is valid.
+.PP
+The
+.I settings
+argument is a password hash string. Algorithm
+tuning parameters and the hash result may be omitted.
+.PP
+The
+.I phrase
+argument is the password to hash.
+It may contain null bytes and may be
+.IR NULL
+even if
+.I len
+is non-zero. If
+.I phrase
+is
+.IR NULL ,
+the function checks whether the specified length
+is supported and assumes an arbitrary byte
+sequence if
+.I text
+is zero. If
+.I text
+is non-zero, UTF-8 without null bytes is assumed.
+.PP
+If
+.I phrase
+is not
+.IR NULL ,
+.I text
+is ignored.
+.PP
+.I settings
+must not be
+.IR NULL .
+
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+The
+.BR librecrypt_test_supported ()
+function returns 1 if the configuration is supported,
+and 0 otherwise.
+
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR librecrypt_test_supported ()
+function cannot fail.
